I'm 25 years a machinist. Let me tell you what automation has done for me. I went from running a single manual lathe and milling machine to running 7 multi axis CNC machines plus two CNC lathes. I work harder now than before for more pay with more coworkers as the company has grown larger. My pay has grown from $10 to $35 over the last 25 years. I work harder for it. Automation hasn't cost jobs it has made them more challenging. The total opposite of what was predicted. As far as Capitalism goes the only thing that will end it is your ever growing government. This morning Australia stopped public transportation to limit protesting. The government stopped transportation. I thought it was owned by the public? Public is a fancy word for government owned and controlled using the forceful taking their taxation provides for them. Taxation is extortion and socialism is a living hell under the most corrupt kind of government.
